What "Quote" button are you talking about?

Let me walk you through the steps I am taking and maybe you can tell what I am doing wrong

1. Left button highlight text
2. Right button copy funtion
3. Right button paste function in reply window

This inserts the text. I have been having to manually add the quote and unquote backets.

I have attempted to left button highlight the text in the reply box and use the quote botton and no brackets are inserted.

I have attempted to use the quote button with the text unhighlighted.

Neither way works.

What am I not doing right?

Having to add the quote brackets manually is kind of pain considering there is supposed to a function that will do it for me.

If you can successfully highlight the text in the reply window, and pressing the quote button (

) doesn't add the quote tags, then the problem is on your end and is most likely a Java or Active-X problem (functions not turned on or outdated).
